karategirl Romance

COMPLETE
Life hasn’t been all roses for thirty-four-year-old Kay, when she meets the handsome Emile it proves to be the catalyst that reignites an old flame and brings her to the attention of some very dangerous people.

Emile is a very private CEO, having his assistant act as the face of his popular streetwear brand he prefers to be in the background, watching and working in the shadows. When he meets Kay he is intrigued and taken aback by her effect on him. Once he decides he wants something he usually gets it and refuses to back down regardless of her reticence.

“Wait,” I blurted, pushing him away from me and fixing my clothes. He exhaled loudly and ran his hands through his hair. I smoothed my hair and took a deep breath.

“We can’t do this, we need to be professional,” I insisted. I didn’t know what was happening with his girlfriend and baby, but I was definitely not going to be a homewrecker. I also really wanted to be professional, the agency had a lot riding on this account.

His expression darkened and he inhaled deeply.

“Are you sure about that Kay, I am the client after all? I am sure you wouldn’t want to upset me and risk damaging our professional relationship,” he smirked. My eyes widened, did he just insinuate what I thought he did?

“Just what is that supposed to mean Mr. Riley?” I asked through gritted teeth, arms folded across my body. I knew it, he was just another rich spoiled brat, not able to understand that he couldn’t always get what he wanted. I felt my face heat up, my nostrils flared.

“I’m just saying, this could be a very mutually beneficial thing for us. You do want things to go well with our business arrangements right?” he smirked again.
